Attempts to go beyond these procedures could result in
serious personal injury or damage to the Cordless Framing
Nailer and voiding the warranty.
There are certain problems you may encounter when you
are using the Cordless Framing Nailer that you will be able
to correct on the work site. The following field service
procedures are the only service procedures you should
attempt. Anything else that may appear wrong with the
Cordless Framing Nailer should only be diagnosed and
repaired by a fully trained service technician. If you have any
reason to believe that your problem is beyond the service
procedures in this manual, contact your Paslode
representative immediately.
Clearing a Jam
An occasional problem you may encounter is a jammed
fastener. Because of the unique design of the Cordless
Framing Nailer, clearing a jammed fastener is easy:
1.
Remove the fuel cartridge and battery.
2.
Lock follower back in magazine and remove fasteners.
3.
Loosen the (2) magazine mounting screws with the
5/32 hex key.
4.
Pull handle/magazine away from the nose of the tool
and clear jam.
5.
Realign handle magazine to nose, and tighten mounting
screws.
6.
Reload fasteners and release follower.
Battery Check
Periodically check the battery indicator light in the handle
of the Cordless Framing Nailer. When encountering a
problem, the first step should always be to make sure the
battery has enough energy to operate the tool.
When the work contacting element is pressed on work
piece, the fan motor will turn on and blinking green light will
turn solid green. If the light blinks red or glows red, recharge
battery.
DANGER
Never attempt any maintenance of the Paslode Cordless
Framing Nailer without first removing the fuel cartridge
and battery. Maintenance should be started only after
the tool is completely inoperative.
Servicing
Remove
If the
n i ʼs
fan operates and the light is green but the tool
will not cycle consistently or at all, check the fuel cartridge.
First remove the fuel cartridge from the tool and check the
“Best Use Before” date stamped on the bottom. If it is
beyond this date, the fuel cartridge may not consistently
dispense the proper amount of fuel – even if the cartridge
has never been used. To test if the cartridge still dispenses
fuel:
1. Hold the cartridge in the upright position with the flat
bottom toward the ground – this orientation is important
for a proper test.
2. Gently push the tip of the cartridge cap against a solid
object five times.
3. A small amount of fuel should be released all five times.
4. If fuel is not released every time it indicates the cartridge
is empty or expired* and must be replaced.
* Expired cartridges may dispense fuel when upside down
or sideways but will not work more than a couple of times in
the upright position because of the reduced internal pres-
sure (see page 10 for more information).
